Some basics: As many as 70% of women your age tested + for past HPV exposure before the high risk forms were linked to cancer. We have done Pap smears for decades to screen for this before knowing the link.You can go a lifetime without a problem or it can show in years or decades. This result will likely make you more compliant get paps done as recommended. Group B strep if found transiently in 1/3, is minor.
